ABSTRACT Atrial septal defects (ASD) are among the most common forms of congenital heart disease. Although surgical correction was the only available therapy for decades, its long-term complications remain unknown and many patients do not have structured medical follow-up in later life. However, increasing evidences suggest that late-onset cardiac problems, such as complete heart block (CHB), can arise after surgery and therefore, long-term follow-up should be advised in these patients. We hereby present an interesting case of CHB occurring in a 30-year-old patient who had undergone surgical secundum ASD closure approximately 21 years prior to this event and now presented with episodes of dizziness and pre-syncope. Seven-day Holter reported seven episodes of CHB, corresponding to the presenting complaints. The patient was successfully managed with conduction system pacing and he remained asymptomatic on further follow-up. The case description is followed by a brief overview of the available literature.
